switchdev_port_fwd_mark_set() is used to set the 'offload_fwd_mark' of
port netdevs so that packets being flooded by the device won't be
flooded twice.
It works by assigning a unique identifier (the ifindex of the first
bridge port) to bridge ports sharing the same parent ID. This prevents
packets from being flooded twice by the same switch, but will flood
packets through bridge ports belonging to a different switch.
This method is problematic when stacked devices are taken into account,
such as VLANs. In such cases, a physical port netdev can have upper
devices being members in two different bridges, thus requiring two
different 'offload_fwd_mark's to be configured on the port netdev, which
is impossible.
The main problem is that packet and netdev marking is performed at the
physical netdev level, whereas flooding occurs between bridge ports,
which are not necessarily port netdevs.
Instead, packet and netdev marking should really be done in the bridge
driver with the switch driver only telling it which packets it already
forwarded. The bridge driver will mark such packets using the mark
assigned to the ingress bridge port and will prevent the packet from
being forwarded through any bridge port sharing the same mark (i.e.
having the same parent ID).
Remove the current switchdev 'offload_fwd_mark' implementation and
instead implement the proposed method. In addition, make rocker - the
sole user of the mark - use the proposed method.

Since there can be multiple switch ASICs on the same system we should
use the switch ID in order to differentiate between them and set the
switch name (e.g. swX) accordingly.
Also, replace the order of the "Switch ID" and "Port Netdev Naming"
sections following the above change.

In certain use cases it is not always desirable for the switch device to
flood traffic to CPU port. Instead, only certain packet types (e.g.
STP, LACP) should be trapped to it.

Now, the memory allocation in prepare/commit state is done separatelly
in each driver (rocker). Introduce the similar mechanism in generic
switchdev code, in form of queue. That can be used not only for memory
allocations, but also for different items. Abort item destruction
is handled as well.

Rocker driver tracks arp_tbl neighs to resolve IPv4 route nexthops. The
driver uses NETEVENT_NEIGH_UPDATE for neigh adds and updates, but there is
no event when the neigh is removed from the device (such as when the device
goes admin down). This patches hooks ndo_neigh_destroy so the driver can
know when a neigh is removed from the device. In response, the driver will
purge the neigh entry from its internal tbl.
I didn't find an in-tree users of ndo_neigh_destroy, so I'm not sure if
this ndo is vestigial or if there are out-of-tree users. In any case, it
does what I need here. An alternative design would be to generate
NETEVENT_NEIGH_UPDATE event when neigh is being destroyed, setting state to
NUD_NONE so driver knows neigh entry is dead.

We need to delete from offload the device externally learnded fdbs when any
one of these events happen:
1) Bridge ages out fdb. (When bridge is doing ageing vs. device doing
ageing. If device is doing ageing, it would send SWITCHDEV_FDB_DEL
directly).
2) STP state change flushes fdbs on port.
3) User uses sysfs interface to flush fdbs from bridge or bridge port:
echo 1 >/sys/class/net/BR_DEV/bridge/flush
echo 1 >/sys/class/net/BR_PORT/brport/flush
4) Offload driver send event SWITCHDEV_FDB_DEL to delete fdb entry.
For rocker, we can now get called to delete fdb entry in wait and nowait
contexts, so set NOWAIT flag when deleting fdb entry.

The goal of this is to provide a possibility to support various switch
chips. Drivers should implement relevant ndos to do so. Now there is
only one ndo defined:
- for getting physical switch id is in place.
Note that user can use random port netdevice to access the switch.
